I liked it. I thought that at times it looked more real than the Star Wars prequels.

Thanks. I guess uncompressed should be fine for me, since I have 1 TB of space. I'll figure out how big the file is after I've encoded it. I went with 10-bit uncompressed. I hope that's the best possible quality

I'm in the process of getting files off a Video TS folder using MPEG Streamclip, into Final Cut Pro and eventually onto a new DVD. That being said, what should I rip the files to in MPEG Streamclip for editing? I'd like to have the least visible degradation of quality as possible but I certainly don't need huge lossless files. I just want something that can be edited in FCP and burned back onto a DVD with results similar to the original DVD. I'm thinking of using plain old DV, would DVCPRO50 be better? Would it be harder to edit? I know files on a DVD are already highly compressed so what would be the best format? Directly editing the mpeg 2 files probably wouldn't work too well.

I always thought it would be cool to have a Star Wars DVD/Blu-Ray where you could turn SE elements on or off during the movie like subtitles. Press a button and the cg is there, press it again it's gone. You could even toggle through the newest version 2004, 97 ect.

quoting boba feta:

That looks great to me. You'll never be able to get it looking perfect enough to reinsert into the film because the source material is at such a low resolution and bitrate but that is certainly far better than the original.

You know, the ones with Luke and Biggs on Tatooine and Luke’s original intro? It would be nice to see those cleaned up and reinserted into the movie.

Wow...nice preview! The only additions I would suggest would be shadows under the speeders in the shots that they're missing and some graphics on those barren speeder displays, maybe similar to what was done with the death star plans.

So I demuxed the video to get the ac3 files and there are 6 tracks but only two actually contain audio. Can someone help me with this?

So I take it there aren't too many Mac users of this forum. It seems like it would be a simple process, I guess I'll try to find a better way.

"Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" not "Star Wars" was number two on the list for Sci-Fi. They said the special effects were a breakthrough for the time (1977) and then showed some cg enhanced shots from the 04 DVDs...Isn't that kind of pointless if your talking about how the special effects were breakthough, not breakthough for 1997...

I already have the Video_TS folder which isn't copy protected, I just don't know what settings in MPEG Streamclip or another app to use to get the files without any loss of quality. I want to preserve the widescreen 480p aspect ratio and the 5.1 surround. I want to edit in FCP and have all the surround channels to be seperate audio tracks rather than there being only 2 audio tracks. Is this possible?

No. The guy who did this joke was really thorough. He removed Boba from the Jabba scene and added one of these pig guys from ROTJ (forgot the name) in the background. Greedo's eyes are also different as well as the color of his shirt.

On the issue of Boba's voice, I prefer Boba's new voice only because the old voice makes him sound like a scowling old man. It's only been 20-30 years or so since he was a young kid in Episode II. Just thought I'd throw in my two cents.

I might just get an iPod Touch because the plan on the iPhone is just do expensive. I barely ever use my cell to begin with so $70 a month is just ridiculous.

Yeah, I really respect all the hard work that's going into this project but someone's got to do it and evidently that someone's isn't going to be George Lucas or his crew

Nice work, but I hope you keep at least some blue tint in the snow, as it naturally reflects the sky (I believe)

most of the pictures if seen of arctic areas have at least a little blue tint
